The history of the South Arabian plateau is closly bound up with that of the city of Shibam, the former Hadrami capital.

Shibam was the world for “height”
in the pre-Islamic Humyar language.
Terms like “Manhattan of the Middle
East”, “Chicago of the Desert”, and “town with the world’s first
skyscrapers” are heard nowadays in describing this city. Contemplating the
mud-brick tower houses is quite awe-inspiring. They date back some tow or three
hundred years and can reach up to nine stories in height. These high-rises,
whose tops are regularly white-washed with a sealant to protect against rain an
erosion, require constant maintenance by their inhabitants.

Shibam is thought to have been in
existence since the second century AD, and layers of history lie below the
current buildings. Shibam became the capital of the Hadramawt Kingdom in the
third century AD. Benefiting from the lucrative frankincense and myrrh trade,
it had gained independence form the Kingdom of Saba.
